Finally went to Burke's
 
Great barbecue great fries great prices. Rustic atmosphere, but the food is the attraction.

Good to hear, thanks.. I will try them too.

We did a carryout of ribs and smoked turkey with sweet potato casserole and mac and cheese. Very pleased!

We've been wondering, but never many cars there.

Burke's must have improved since the first few weeks of opening because we found the food dry, small quantities, and a high price. May need to try it again but was so unhappy with the food that it's hard to give it a second chance.

I really like Burke's. I think you get good food for the price. It is much busier during the lunch hour than in the evenings.

We like Burke's too. Good, home cooked food, good prices. Nothing fancy, just good food.

466A towards Fruitland Park before the Micro Race Track turnoff. Impossible to miss.

After you eat, be sure to visit the thrift store behind the resturant.

That was my thought also. But circumstances (wife out of town :o) made me hunt down some food the other day. When I pulled in, I realized there is another parking area BEHIND the building and that's where all the cars were.

So in I went, ordered the Messy Pig, and it was great. This place is now on the restaurant rotation for us for sure.

I agree the ribs were so dry I could not get meat off of them.
